What is the RER and how do I get to the PH PARIS VENDOMME this spring. Wy wife and I have never conquered the concept of traveling light, so loaded down like pack mules , bus to train to walking with 4 suit cases is out of the question. Any other suggestions A La Carmel car service in NYC? I'm sure there are a bunch of companies that run this service. Google "Transportation Charles de Gaulle" or something like that, and you should be able to find more information. |
I never had problems getting a taxi that accepts my AMEX at CDG. I just ask the driver or operator to find one. At the PHV it's not that easy but the doormen or Concierge help and call one with credit card reader.
Statement says 31 Okt TAXI G7 EMV CLICHY Buchungsdatum 01 Nov EUR 45,00 (paid for CDG to PH Vendôme via Opéra including tip) |
Ask before you get in the taxi. Took a taxi from CDG to PHV in October and didn't ask. Had 60 euros and thought that would cover, but heavy traffic and a 67 euro charge. Driver wouldn't take card. Gave him all my euros and $20.00. He seemed satisfied.

I took one of those "super shuttle" type van services once. I don't remember the name of the service but it was cheaper than a taxi and it was door to door.

Not a lot cheaper, I guess it depends on traffic. 2. I had to call them with my mobile phone once arrived and then wait for them 3. Taxis are easier because there is always one waiting as I walk out of the terminal. No need to worry about which car is the one that picks me up. 4. No need to reserve in advance. I would only take the bus if I have no baggage with me. |

I've used them too and after that, I decided it would be better to use a taxi because of the following reasons:

1) I've found the vending machines in the booths where you catch Roissybus to be inoperative, sometimes. There's (supposed to be) an attendant in the booth, though I don't know what he does, except affirm that the machine isn't working. Fortunately, as others say, you can pay the driver or buy inside the terminal.
2) Comparing the single trip prices on the Roissybus and the RER, they're almost the same. |

Have you called the hotel directly , as people have mentioned availability seldom shows online, and calling is much better .

Am returning in April on points and put in request for lower two floors. |
